9. Before every cross-cut, firmly position the spike bar and only then saw in-
to the wood with the chainsaw running. The saw is then lifted up using
the rear grip and guided using the front handle. The spike bar acts as a
pivot point. Repositioning is done using light pressure on the front han-
dle. Pull the saw back slightly to do this. Insert the spike bar deeper and
lift up again using the rear grip.
Use only admitted chain saw and chain bar combination (See chapter:
Troubleshooting)
The cutting equipment supplied is optimally matched to this chain saw.
When pairing of components do not match, the cutting attachment can be ir-
reparably damaged after only a short operating time and cause injury.

NOTICE
The following information is mainly for the end user or the infrequent user.
This chainsaw has been designed for occasional use by home owners, gar-
den owners and campers, for general work such as clearing, cutting firewood
etc. It is not intended for longer work. During longer work, because of vibra-
tions, there is a risk of circulation problems in the user‘s hands (white-fin-
ger-syndrome).
White-finger-syndrome (Raynaud’s Disease) is a vascular disease where the
small blood vessels in fingers and toes contract seizure-like. The affected are-
as are no longer supplied with blood and therefore look very pale.
Frequent use of vibrating machines can cause nerve damage in people
whose circulation is compromised (e.g. smokers, people with diabetes).
If you notice unusual impairment, immediately stop the work and consult a
doctor. Observe the following notices in order to reduce risks:
• Keep your body, and particularly your hands, warm in cold weather.
• Take regular breaks during which you should move your hands to pro-
mote circulation.
• Ensure the lowest possible vibration of the machine by regularly main-
taining it and keeping components tight.
Personal safety
• Never use only one hand when using the saw! Otherwise there is a risk
